A parent whose child goes to a high school in the Wake County Public School System has been sued after criticizing the math curriculum used in the district.

Utah-based "Mathematics Vision Project" or "MVP," filed a lawsuit against Blain Dillard, whose son attends Green Hope High in Cary.

Dillard has been vocal about his opposition to the MVP curriculum, which is student-driven and focuses on group work, posting on his website, blog and social media.

The lawsuit obtained by ABC11 said, "In or around March 2019, Dillard commenced a crusade against MVP, claiming that MVP is ineffective and has harmed many students."

It alleges that some of Dillard's statements were false and defamatory and harmed the company financially.

    Tom Lehrer "New Math"

    Well, anyway, wish there were some way to keep "educational supplies" companies from ripping off students with way over priced math textbooks, scantrons, and testing "services".

    As well as holding all companies issuing "reports" on anyone fully culpable for defamation of character if their report is not true.

    He did say "SJW", which suggests a certain deficiency in logical thinking and scientific rigour. I say we schedule the pleb for recycling in the bio-pits. Best use, and all.
